SH444 69 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 It was probably between Ladd or Versteeg for the Hawks, so this is a good move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say a good half of Chicago's bandwagon base. 12 heinz57, TheDetroitRedWings, Skeptikal and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SH444 69 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I'd say a good half of Chicago's bandwagon base. So you're replying to the bandwagon fanbase on your message board? That's weird. I'm not 100% certain that the Blackhawks fanbase checks this board. I'm dubious. Perhaps we can do some IP checks to verify. If this is in fact a done deal what's the hawks cap situation like now? It depends on whether or not someone goes nuts on an offer sheet for one the RFA. If nobody does, this is most likely it. Even Ladd. It turns out the cap hit for bonuses was only the 1.3 Toews Conn SMythe bonus, not the 4 mil + change that was initially reported. 1 Edillac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweWings 45 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 They did get Stalberg though Always liked the Stalberg. Hopefully he'll have a break-out season... too bad it'll be for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 They also lost Bill Sweatt, that kid is really fast and going to be a damn good player. I watched a few of his NCAA games and he was dynamic. Pretty decent trade for both teams. 1 atodaso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Ladd's probably coming back then with the freed up money. Assuming Ladd signs: Ladd/Toews/Kane Kopecky/Sharp/Hossa Stalberg/Bolland/????? ?????/Reasoner/????? Bickell, Dowell, Skille, and maybe a vet or prospect to fill out the forward corps to look as follows: Ladd/Toews/Kane Kopecky/Sharp/Hossa Stalberg/Bolland/Skille Bickell/Reasoner/Dowell ????? Still looks pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, because 75% of the 8,000+ members on this board registered within the last year or so.

Not sure why you think I take bandwagon fans as an insult. I don't care. I'm not one, so why would I? I don't even live in Chicago, so I don't have to deal with them. In fact, I'm on your side with that argument. I hate bandwagon fans as much as you. Blackhawk nation still in denial. About what? I'd love to hear this. There's a great chance that this is all we lose this offseason, which is WAY less than (legit) fans thought just a few weeks ago. Really, what are we in denial about? I'm interested. Seems like WIngs fan are grasping for straws now that the offseason isn't going to be nearly as bad for the Hawks as you thought. 1 Edillac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DatsyukianDeke13 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 It looks like the Wings will take back the Central Division. Hawks are losing too much of their depth. What's funny is that without injuries Detroit would have been right up there with Chicago in the central...next season, it won't even be close. 1 thegerkin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) He never said they were done trading. Curious... True, true, the article says he wouldn't rule out any more trades. But the implication of the article was that they didn't need to shed any more salary, which wasn't true.

syntax 359 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 If this is in fact a done deal what's the hawks cap situation like now? I think Versteegs hit was just over $3M a year. Chicago is probably $8M under the cap, and they have a whole 13 players signed. They'll continue to bleed players tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SH444 69 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Curious... Did you read the article? Or my post? You even cut out the part where I clarified why you're wrong. I'll do it again though. Like I said, he said they didn't NEED to trade anybody (obviously posturing). He never said they WOULDN'T trade anybody. In fact, he hinted pretty heavily in that article that they would still be dealing. Reading comprehension?
